Indian journalists' ways of work: http://www.indiafm.com/features/2008/02/12/3566/index.html Headline: "Kareena and I will get married after 3 years" - Saif Ali Khan" Read down the Interview: So when do you plan to get married? We'll certainly be getting married. But not for the next 3-4 years. Right now, we both have our individual careers to look out for. I think there is a school to teach how to design headlines and all have aced in that course.

On V-Day, Bajrang Dal men force couple to get 'married' 15 Feb 2008, 0118 hrs IST,Suchandana Gupta,TNN PIC - BHOPAL: Bajrang Dal activists out to spoil celebration of love on Valentine's Day made a couple sitting in a Bhopal park tie the knot and blackened the face of a foreigner. It, however, emerged later that the saffron brigade had wrongly caught a married couple. The moral police blackened the foreigner's face after they spotted her with a local man at an isolated place on Bhopal's VIP Road. Police said Bajrang Dal activists informed the parents of Ashish Ranu, 25, and Divya Singh, 23, after they found them in Kamla Park on the outskirts of Bhopal. VHP spokesperson and Bajrang Dal leader Devendra Rawat said his outfit had issued a warning that any couple spotted celebrating Valentine's Day would have to get married. "Our activists found the couple in the park. We didn't misbehave with them. We asked them to get married," he said. "Initially they said they were related to each other, but later accepted that they were in love. We told them that if they are in love, they should get married, but they maintained that their parents would get angry. We informed their parents and got them married," Rawat said. The marriage vows were taken in a hurry. Ashish smeared vermilion on Divya's forehead and tied a ‘mangalsutra' around her neck. Soon after, the police reached the spot and rescued the couple. The police later claimed the episode was a "drama" staged by the Bajrang Dal. "The couple had tied the knot four months back and Divya is a member of Bajrang Dal's women's wing - Durga Vahini," a police said. Bajrang Dal, however, denied the charge. "If they were married for four months, why did they meet in a park, under a tree on Valentine's Day? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/V-Day_Bajrang_Dal_men_force_couple_to_get_married/articleshow/2783653.cms

Observant Sikh challenges Ontario motorcycle regulations KIRK MAKIN From Friday's Globe and Mail February 15, 2008 at 4:10 AM EST BRAMPTON, Ont. — A devout Sikh all his life, Baljinder Badesha never imagined that his religious devotion would compel him to race a motorcycle around an Ontario speedway to test whether turbans unravel at high speeds. The bizarre image of Mr. Badesha's experiment last year - conducted under the auspices of the Ontario Human Rights Commission - was evoked during a constitutional challenge to a law that forces motorcycle riders to wear a helmet. Ontario Court Judge James Blacklock was told yesterday that, in order to disprove a Crown theory that turbans unravel at high speed and cause accidents, Mr. Badesha drove around Cayuga Speedway at 110 kilometres an hour. His turban held fast. Baljinder Singh breaks the law Thursday by riding his motorcycle without a helmet in Brampton, Ont. Manitoba and British Columbia exempt Sikhs from such rules. (J.P. Moczulzki for The Globe and Mail) Mr. Badesha and the human rights commission maintain the helmet law discriminates against Sikhs because their religion obliges them to cover their long hair with nothing more than a turban. "Observant Sikhs are put in the impossible position of choosing between ordinary, everyday activities and observing their faith," said lawyer Scott Hutchison, who is representing the OHRC. "That is religious discrimination." Mel Sokosky, a lawyer for Mr. Badesha, said his client is far too religious to consider compromising his beliefs. "Mr. Badesha's desire is not a trivial pursuit," he said. "This is not a game he is playing. He isn't here to waste the court's time. This is a matter of primary importance to Mr. Badesha." In an interview, Mr. Hutchison said the Cayuga turban test became necessary after the Crown declared that an expert it had hired proved that turbans unravel rapidly in 100 km/h winds. The Crown's test had been carried out by a professional engineer who purchased a mannequin head, mounted it on a stick and then placed the assemblage in a wind tunnel. However, Mr. Hutchison was unable to find a documented case anywhere in the world where a Sikh motorcyclist's turban had unravelled. Skeptical, he persuaded the OHRC to authorize its own test. After he confronted the Crown with the dramatically different test result, prosecutors conceded that their engineer had grossly miscalculated the force of the wind he had generated to batter the imitation head, Mr. Hutchison said. In fact, the device had been subjected to a 300 km/h wind. Mr. Badesha, a 39-year-old father of four who immigrated to Canada in 1989 and had been an avid motorcyclist in his native India, said in an interview yesterday that he was charged in mid-2005, about a month after he purchased his 2003 Honda Shadow. He noted that Sikh soldiers have never worn helmets, and argued that Sikhs should be left alone to make their own decisions about motorcycle gear. "Who cares?" Mr. Badesha said. "Everybody ends up dead anyway. People die in cars too. In life, you have to take risks, no matter what." While the Crown case initially questioned the sincerity of Mr. Badesha's religious convictions, its main argument is now based on increased costs to the health system, should helmetless Sikh motorcycle riders end up suffering head injuries. Mr. Hutchison and co-counsel Owen Rees disputed this contention yesterday. They pointed to a study they had done that concluded that, assuming half of all Sikh motorcyclists wear turbans, the increase in serious injuries would be between .43 and 2.83 Sikh riders a year. The study also projected that medical treatment for traumatic brain injuries would increase from $151,700,000 to $151,834,685 - a .00005-per-cent overall increase in the province's annual health-care budget. Mr. Hutchison told the court that the province already licenses motorcycle riders in spite of the fact that they have far more accidents than automobile drivers. "Clearly, the decision to allow motorcycles to be used at all recognizes and accepts a significant degree of risk and concomitant social cost," he said. India and Britain exempt Sikhs from wearing helmets, as do Manitoba and British Columbia, where a human-rights challenge precipitated the exemption.

97-year-old gets life term for murder A 97-year-old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh for a murder he committed in 1993, marking what is perhaps a first in legal history. Kartar Singh, a resident of Mari Buchhian village in Punjab's Gurdaspur district, was on Thursday awarded a life term for the murder of his neighbour Surjit Kaur in their village following a minor dispute over a vegetable garden. The high court directed the Punjab police to put the old man behind bars rejecting his counsel's plea to acquit him on the ground of his age. "Section 302 (murder) leaves no room for discretion. He should have stopped himself but he thrust his stick into her (victim's) body which caused her death instantaneously," the high court said. Kartar Singh was 83 years old when he committed the crime. A trial court in Gurdaspur recorded his statement in 1998 - when he was 88 years old - and held him guilty of murder. He was arrested but has been out on bail since 2001. He had appealed to the high court against his conviction by the trial court and his plea was pending for nearly 10 years now. When the court Thursday sentenced Kartar Singh to life imprisonment, it asked the state counsel to first find out if he was alive. When the counsel called up the concerned police station to know about Kartar Singh, he was right there in the police station. He had gone to find out about another case against him. The court ordered that he be arrested immediately. http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=8c17cbd3-67df-48ce-b356-447870bde248&&Headline=97-year-old+gets+life+term+for+murder

Blind Irishman sees with the aid of son's tooth in his eye DUBLIN (AFP) - An Irishman blinded by an explosion two years ago has had his sight restored after doctors inserted his son's tooth in his eye, he said on Wednesday. Bob McNichol, 57, from County Mayo in the west of the country, lost his sight in a freak accident when red-hot liquid aluminium exploded at a re-cycling business in November 2005. "I thought that I was going to be blind for the rest of my life," McNichol told RTE state radio. After doctors in Ireland said there was nothing more they could do, McNichol heard about a miracle operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) being performed by Dr Christopher Liu at the Sussex Eye Hospital in Brighton in England. The technique, pioneered in Italy in the 1960s, involves creating a support for an artificial cornea from the patient's own tooth and the surrounding bone. The procedure used on McNichol involved his son Robert, 23, donating a tooth, its root and part of the jaw. McNichol's right eye socket was rebuilt, part of the tooth inserted and a lens inserted in a hole drilled in the tooth. The first operation lasted ten hours and the second five hours. "It is pretty heavy going," McNichol said. "There was a 65 percent chance of me getting any sight. "Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness to be able to do simple things," McNichol said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080228/ts_afp/irelandbritainhealthoffbeat

Name for miracle baby: Jodhaa or Karishma? 29 Feb 2008, 0041 hrs IST,Radha Sharma ,TNN Being from south Rajasthan, where Jodhaa is revered for her valour, the family is leaning toward naming the baby after the queen (TOI Photo) AHMEDABAD: Jodhaa for valour or Karishma for miracle? Parents of the survivor-against-all-odds baby, the 1.4 kg girl who had a delivery through her mother's womb into the toilet bowl of a running train and then right onto the tracks, have zeroed in on these two names. WTF!!!!!!!!!! "Jodhaa and Karishma seem most apt. We are finding it difficult to choose between the two," says mother Bhuri Kalbi, after consulting husband Prabhuram. Being from south Rajasthan, where Jodhaa is revered for her valour, the family is leaning toward naming her after the queen whose name has been thrust into the public realm by the controversy over the movie Jodhaa-Akbar. "Our daughter has lived against all odds. Our daughter has proved she is a miraculous fighter," says Prabhuram, the girl's father who works in a packaging unit in Ahmedabad. The buzz created by the story reported in Wednesday's edition of the TOI and flashed all day Thursday by TV channels led to a procession of people to the Rajasthan Hospital, eager to catch a glimpse of the miracle baby. "Where is the little champion?" asked one man. Another peeped into the ICU asking the attending paediatrician if the girl needed any blood. "I am willing to donate blood for God's own daughter," he said. "This girl has generated tremendous excitement and goodwill among people here with her miraculous survival," attending paediatrician Dr Raj Kumar told TOI. On Thursday, the little bundle was mostly busy exercising her fragile lungs crying and also throwing in the faintest of smiles in between as she remained in the incubator. Doctors said that lady luck would have been smiling all along as she did not seem to have landed on the tracks on her head. "Usually, children are born head first. It seems the girl either came legs first or swing around her umbilical cord and landed on her hip. She has no trace of injury whatsoever on her head, though she has some internal injury on the hip bone," said Dr Kumar. The hospital has decided not to charge any fee for treating the girl and her mother since the family is not well-off, hospital chairman Babulal Rungta said. Meanwhile, station master K K Rai sacrificed his day-off on Thursday and boarded a train to Ahmedabad from Ambaliyasan first thing in the morning to check if the girl he saved from the railway track was doing fine! "Her survival is God's will. When we found her, she was lying dangerously close to one track, crying miserably, her body turning blue and cold. I am so glad she has made it," Rai, himself a father of a one-year-old boy told TOI as he peered through the incubator glass. -------------------------------------------------------- WTF? Nobody is concerned about HOW in god's world was the baby being delivered in the train toilet. How the hell did somebody drop her from the toilet? Truly WTF!

Drunk Russian sleeps off knifing A Russian man trying to sleep off a night of after-work drinking failed to notice a six-inch (15-cm) knife in his back - until his wife woke him up. Yuri Lyalin, 53, took a bus home, ate breakfast and apparently slept like a baby before his spouse noticed a handle sticking out of his back. He was rushed to casualty but doctors found no vital organs damaged. Mr Lyalin shrugged the episode off but the drinking partner who stabbed him faces trial, Russian media report. "Unique and intriguing the case may be, but the accused faces a severe punishment," said Pavel Vorobyov, a deputy prosecutor in the northern city of Vologda. 'We were drinking' Mr Lyalin, an electrician, had spent the evening drinking with a watchman at his workplace when they got into an argument, Interfax news agency reports. The morning found him waking up in the watchman's office but instead of going back to work, he decided to take the bus home. At home, Mr Lyalin had some sausage from the fridge and lay down to sleep, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper says. After a couple of hours, his wife noticed the handle sticking out of his back and called an ambulance. Viktor Belov, a surgeon who treated him, found a kitchen knife in Mr Lyalin's back but "by good fortune, it had gone through soft tissue without touching vital organs". His alleged attacker reported the crime to the police himself, Interfax adds. Mr Lyalin apparently feels fine and bears no ill-will. "We were drinking and what doesn't happen when you're drunk?" he was quoted by Komsomolskaya Pravda as saying.

From my understanding of events, sometimes the delivery is fairly quick and the placenta (to which the umbilical is attached) is ejected right away...there have been cases where the entire labour+delivery is over in a couple of minutes while some take over 2 days...i suppose some young ones are in a particular rush to make their entrance to this world while the others take their sweet time!
